Arsenal Fans can forget about getting Khedira now

The Real Madrid midfielder Sami Khedira has been linked with a move to Arsenal all summer, but it now seems that we can completely forget about him coming to the Emirates. The Real manager Carlo Ancelotti has totally ruled out either Khedira or the reported Man United target Angel Di Maria leaving the club this transfer window.

Ancelotti was reported as saying in the Express: “The transfer market is over and we won’t re-open it.”

Rabiot would be a good buy. But he is for the future. He has loads of energy, strength, great passing range, is technical and tackles well. He can play b2b or a holding role. 1,88cm tall can’t hurt either.

I would be extremely happy if we managed to get Rabiot and Carvalho. Both could eventually replace Flamini and Arteta (rather sooner than later).

Yes. Perhaps. But you were the one to state unequivocally that Arsenal would make the announcement of signing Khedira by a certain date – and that date was several weeks ago.

You have no inside info. You are repeating the same unreliable reports we can all read if we choose to read unreliable reports which we do not. Some of these reports may turn out to be true just out of pure coincidence – most are lies but you repeat them as if they are coming from the burning bush.

He had a major injury, Ramsey Walcott and wilshire have missed far more games than khedira, suppose you don’t want them either. One massive difference though khedira is a world and european champion with over 300 appearances in the top flight in the last 8 years.

base don yesterdays game it’s obvious cazorla /wilshere & arteta can’t play 2gether they lack pace have similar style + we need a striker else we may end up with fa cup/carling cup & maz 2nd or 3rd place finish

Forget Khediera, get William Carvalho! Judging from yesterday’s game I hope the boss realises we need steel and commanding presence in the central defensive position and a proven striker. I must admit I thought the much maligned Arteta did remarkably well. He was in parts our best player as far as I’m concerned but we still need reinforcements before the window shuts! Well done AFC for grabbing all 3 points. Let’s now build on that!

A scrappy win is better than playing a team off the park then letting the opposition in withheld a scrappy goal as in the past.Hopefully our performance in the champions league game is better than that one.

@darlingbudsofarse and @Shah… Atleast one gud and honest opinion. So true Arteta was mostly our best player. He covered hs position excellently and N Monreal plyed twice better than Gibbs. JW is dissapointing. Carzola is as slow as a snail on the wing but did better when he replaced Wilshere centrally

i really don’t think Jack played that bad today – he really didn’t turn over the ball like he normally did and won a lot of free kicks. the only issue I had with him is that he needed come back to get the ball from Arteta since the Spaniard doesn’t like dribbling the ball up the middle anymore.

They definitely didn’t look like a side in turmoil yesterday. When a team loses their manager suddenly, it can either selfdestruct or put up an inspired performance in their next game to prove themselves. I think they were in ‘prove themselves mode’ yesterday. It seemed as though they followed any instructions that pulis gave before he left, chamakh dropped into midfield and the team were parking the bus. We didn’t do too well and struggled to break down their bus, but ramsey scored and we (deservedly) came away with 3 points. It’ll be very interesting to see how things pan out at Palace. Many Palace fans are pissed that their best manager in years has left, and the new guy will have a tough job on his hands to prove himself.
